Vantaggi
The company has excellent values and really tries hard to do what's right for employees, customers and the community. The benefits are very good, the 401K contributions are matched dollar for dollar by the company up to a certain percentage, health insurance is not too expensive and I loved the employee stock purchase plan.
Svantaggi
It may have been specific to my region or district but we had a very high turnover in management. They restructured store management and removed a position from each store leaving us with too much responsibility and not enough people for the job. They restructured middle management to be by volume and not geography, which I think was a mistake because our customers shop at whatever stores are in their area without regard to its size. This creates a disjointed experience for customers and segregates you from your neighbor stores. The company often made last minute decisions in reaction to business trends, after the fact, and didn't put enough thought into planning promotions with anticipation of the repercussions. We never had time to plan our business properly because we were always playing catch-up.
